That's exactly what is happening with the Anthropogenic Global Warming scam; too many people are too demoralised to assess true information about Socialism, Communism, and climate change to allow its use for other agendas on the hands of the useful idiots “the leftists” as former KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov calls them.Enviro-communism is a new twisted idea of redistribution of wealth through “environmental” policies and the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference 2009 is the perfect manifestation of it. Environmental Justice is the new Social Justice; Climate Debt is the new Redistribution of Wealth, Anthropogenic Global Warming scam is the Communism.

How did he decide that global warming is a "scam"? Three guesses:

Climategate incident – exposing the eco-Marxist scamOn Thursday 19th November 2009 news began to circulate that hacked documents and communications from the University of East Anglia’s Hadley Climate Research Unit (aka CRU) had been published to the internet.The information revealed how top scientists conspired to falsify data in the face of declining global temperatures in order to prop up the premise that man-made factors are driving climate change.The documents and emails illustrated how prominent climatologists, affiliated with the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change, embarked on a venomous and coordinated campaign to ostracise climate skeptics and use their influence to keep dissenting reports from appearing in peer-reviewed journals, as well as using cronyism to avoid compliance with Freedom of Information Act requests.Here follows a compendium of articles and videos on what was quickly dubbed as “ClimateGate”.The full story:[3] CLIMATE BOMBSHELL: Hacker leaks thousands of emails showing conspiracy to “hide” the real data on manmade climate change[4] Climategate: the final nail in the coffin of ‘Anthropogenic Global Warming’?Hiding the Decline:[5] Hacked E Mails: Climate Scientists Discuss “Hiding Decline” In Temperatures [6] Mike’s Nature Trick [7] McIntyre: The deleted data from the “Hide the Decline” trick [8] Hide The Decline – Climategate[9] Bishop Hill’s compendium of CRU email issues

Where did Breivik absorb this poisonous nonsense on his road to mass murder?

Please see Lord Christopher Monckton's speech

Oh. It would seem Monckton matters, even if serious people think he is a clown. Breivik took him seriously enough.

"Never ceases to amaze me that deniers think Mann's use of actual recorded temperatures can somehow be construed as "hiding the decline". Huh???"

I don't get it either, but this is where I'm at after more time than is strictly healthy trying to understand deniers and their mentality:

* There is a power in repetition. It is akin to the madness of crowds (http://www.amazon.com/Extraordinary-Popular-Delusions-Madness-Crowds/dp/051788433X). Deniers repeat these things over and over to one another, and by the time they have heard it two or three times, it is prefaced by an "of course" or "naturally" or "we know for certain that."

* The people repeating this crap know that most people don't accept what they are saying as true, but they repeat it as fact in order to try and force people to argue their delusions. They see the facts of the real world as imposed on them by hostile others and promote their alternate reality as part of their rhetorical struggle -- their strategy is to argue everything, and concede nothing, no matter how ridiculous.

"Comiserations to those who had to look through that never ending catalogue of hate to find his AGW denial."

True that, but keyword search is your friend.

Breivik certainly had a number of preoccupations: Islam, "Marxists," "multiculturalism." That he was a climate denier too testifies to the way the far right has embraced a whole range of ideologically-sanctioned delusions.

This fringe -- in the George Mason University poll, they correspond with the "dismissives" -- has moved from embracing an ideology as a way of determining priorities and solving problems, to ideology as a complete belief system, akin to a religious system, that tells them everything they want to know about the world.

Just like the Christians' fight with Darwin was (or is, I suppose) not about Darwin, the right's rejection of climate change is not primarily about climate change; what it's about, at least in part, is the sense of threat a believer feels when facts challenge their belief system and its myths.

Could it be the proposal that we could destroy this Planet as a liveable enviroment is an affront to the image of their God. The ultimate proof of the power of their God is in its power to destroy the Planet. Human induced Armagheddon destroys that final proof of their belief. It also gives a certain time line for their respective prophets to return and after hundreds of years of disappointments nothing worse than definitive timeline.

Who really knows, when somebody believes in supernatural events, logic has left the building and no doubt as Carbon reduction requires more pervasive actions as a result of delay, the Denialist extremes will only expand.

"Eh, no, he will be the first climate denier to stand trial for mass murder"

As with anything, new facts may change the picture, but in general, the decisions of a court of law are not the standard of what a person is or what they have done. A person can be a murderer and not ever be brought to trial -- they are still a murderer.

Breivik has admitted what he did, according to police. He was caught red-handed. He released a long description of his reasons for terrorism, has preparations and planning, and signed off "my last entry."

He is a mass murderer. His jury will need to reserve judgement; but that is not something that is required of us.

How easy it is to be misread... what I meant is that there already is, and has been for years, a small army of climate denier mass murderers, most of whom will die in bed and never face the law. This guy will. That's what makes him a 'first', not his guilt.
